Handling aerial surveying operations, including oblique aerial photography and airborne laser scanning

Abstract

This report outlines aerial surveying operations during the initial response to the 2026 Kumamoto Earthquake. Emergency oblique photography and high-density airborne LiDAR Survey were conducted, expediting DEM generation through real-time data transmission and optimized automated processing. Pre- and post-disaster differential analyses effectively visualized detailed extent of damage, such as slope failures.
